To clarify: One’s view of creation is one indicator of one’s religious viewpoint. For instance, a proponent of Darwinian Evolutionary Theory as fact is indicating with bright red neon lights a decidedly Humanist religious worldview.

Tell that to the Catholics and Jews

On the other hand, as betty boop pointed out earlier, one can not judge every creationist to be of a Christian worldview,

True, there's also the fundamentalist Muslims who are hard core creationist

or even to believe in One God (Hindus come to mind, or the ancient Greek myths).

Speaking of the Hindus, they are neither Christian or Secular, So they have no religious agenda as a reason to favor Evolution vs Creationism vs ID. Yet today in India they teach evolution.

Point being, if the science behind Creationism and ID was so solid and evolution all just one big sham to promote Atheism, why is it that when groups (like the Hindus, Japanese Shintos, etc.) who for lack of better words "Don't have a dog in this fight" look at the evidence and always choose Evolution?

I can't make heads or tails of one thing you posted. Where do I begin?

What do you mean when you say, "Tell that to the Catholics and Jews"?

What does this have to do with the Catholics and Jews? ...?

Also, you imply that the content of school curriculum in places like India and Japan comes from some sort of exercise in which the evidence for various viewpoints is considered and weighed in an objective manner. If there were enough evidence for Creationism/ID, then surely that would be what the Hindus and Shintos are teaching in their schools. But since they’re teaching evolution now (reallly???), that must mean...evolution has more...evidence...for it?

I’m sorry I just can’t follow you... There is so much that is wrong with that, I’m not sure where to start.
